User Reviews for North Shore: Waimea Bay, Haleiwa Town

3 Star Rating: Average

There are few beach with decent sands and no rock; but most of them are overly crowded and hard to find places to park. Most beaches were rocky and are great for snorkeling and surfing. There are plenty of places to eat and shop around town. We don't find this attractive for sun and sand or just getting wet.

Pros: Beautiful scenery, place to eat and shop around town, shrimp trucks

Cons: Hard to find parking space

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This is truly a wonderful place on the island of Oahu. The people are wonderful , friendly, and welcoming!! Though there are some tourists , the hustle and bustle of Waikiki doesn't really follow them up here. There is a small line of shops, several places to dine, road side sales, and the some of the best beaches you'll ever see!My personal favoriteis Waimea Bay ! Shaved ice at Matsumotos is a must !! Haleiwa is one of the places that keeps me coming back to this island!!

Pros: Gorgeous beaches, casual places to eat, Best shaved ice

This little town on the island of Oahu is the best! If you feel like getting away from all of the crowds and commercialization of Waikiki and Honolulu, this is the place to be. Yes, there are tourists here, but it is still a place that is mostly islanders. It's the "real" island. The shopping is great, the food is the best and not as overpriced as everywhere else. Don't miss a meal at Joe's. It's casual and the food is awesome. If I had my choice of where to go on Oahu, the North Shore would be it.

Pros: real shave ice, not as commercialized, true Hawaii

Cons: , shops close early

Editor's Review

Surf culture, offbeat shops and the world's largest waves are at home in laid-back "Surf City."  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

When to Go

Haleiwa Town, like most of the North Shore, rolls up the rugs early; if you want to combine a day of beaches and shopping, be sure to get an early start.
